EP stepping up DWI enforcement

The following is a news release from the City of Eden Prairie:

Eden Prairie and Bloomington Police plan to increase DWI patrols this month, as July is one of the deadliest periods for impaired driving in Minnesota. The increased efforts are part of a statewide impaired driving enforcement sweep, coordinated by the state Department of Public Safety (DPS) as part of the Safe & Sober campaign, and will include participation from more than 400 Minnesota law enforcement agencies.

Red, white and boom

According to a news release from Regions Hospital, "Fireworks are a fun way to celebrate Independence Day, but they can also be dangerous if they are not handled properly. Every year, hospitals treat thousands of patients for injuries to their eyes, ears and hands from fireworks. Thirteen people were treated for fireworks-related injuries at Regions Hospital on or around the Fourth of July in 2007."


Watch for theft from vehicles

Between June 23 and June 24, six (6) incidents of theft from vehicle were reported in Chanhassen. It appears that the thefts occurred overnight.

Thieves smashed the windows of locked vehicles with valuables left in plain view, and entered unlocked vehicles. One Eden Prairie theft (a purse taken from a vehicle parked in a garage) has been linked to the Chanhassen cases.
